A Comparison of the Take-off and Landing Characteristics of a Number of Service Airplane
This is a 1927 technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, a government aeronautical study comparing takeoff and landing performance of several service airplanes, written for engineers and aviation researchers. Its pictures are grainy halftone photographs and plots: aircraft wheels and brakes, a biplane on a field, a graph of landing ground run against wind speed, and machined mechanical parts, all in a sober engineering style that suggests muted grey tones and plain technical layouts for a designer.
